== Major new InterCom features ==
*'''Multicast IP paging for SIP'''<br>Turbine and INCA IP intercom stations and IP speakers now support [[Multicast Paging (Edge/SIP)|IP multicast audio when configured in SIP mode]]. Up to 10 multicast IP addresses can be configured.
*'''Virtual I/O script execution based on input status change'''<br>Added possibility to enable/disable functions like DAK key action (e.g., make a call) according to a state change on certain input. Use cases: disabling intercom for non-authorized personnel using a badge-reader or denying intercom calls without a vehicle in front of the station (detected by a magnetic loop into the ground).
*'''Advanced Turbine AVC settings on StationWeb'''<br>Added advanced AVC settings on Turbine StationWeb for AVC algorithm parametrization. These options should be used only in cases when the default AVC behavior needs to be fine-tuned and when the technician has a good understanding about the AVC technology.
*'''Added support for SIP Early Media during 180-Ringing or 183-Session Progress'''<br>Now there is support for playing media during SIP 180-Ringing or SIP 183 Call progress, instead of a locally generated ringing tone. This is a very common setup in iPBX systems where the server generates media to be played during session progress and before call is accepted (e.g., call queued before it is answered).
*'''VS-IMT improvements'''<br>VS-IMT will now display a warning when TCIV is set as a Pulse server, explaining the limitation and workaround.  All DAK actions are now enabled for all Turbine stations, rather than being filtered by station type. The release also includes [[IMT - Release Notes|many small bug-fixes and improvements]].
*'''Improvements to the VS-Client'''<br>Added improvements to how the VS-Client manages system resources under a high system resources load, which should prevent any possible audible interruptions. Also improved how the VS-Client takes ownership of audio devices; it could happen that the VS-Client locks an audio device such as a USB headset microphone in exclusive ownership, which can cause issues for other applications; this is now improved within the audio engine.

== New AlphaCom IP Public Address Services ==
AlphaCom has inherited a set of new IP Public Address Services from Exigo. With the new features AlphaCom is able to provide a strong IP PA offering.

The main features and capabilities are:
# Connect Exigo amplifiers to Exigo without use of Exigo system controllers
# Enhanced PA monitoring
# HD audio for background music distribution
<br>
Two new license types have been added to AlphaCom. These are [[Licenses#Exigo_.28ENA.29_Amplifier_license|ENA Amplifier Channel License]] and [[Licenses#High_bandwidth_audio_license|HD Audio License]]. One ENA Amplifier Channel License per amplifier channel is needed. The HD Audio License is per AlphaCom server.
